Why The US Can’t Overcome North Korea In War by AjalaJ(m): 11:24am On Apr 20, 2017
If the US starts war with North Korea, they will regret it. Whether they attack North Korea on their own, or jointly with the UN.

Why? The US has never won any way against any country that is secretly supported by super powers.

Korean War lasted for more than 3 years (June 1950 – 27 July). It began when North Korea invaded South Korea. The United Nations, with the United States as the principal force, came to the aid of South Korea. China came to the aid of North Korea, and the Soviet Union gave some assistance. Millions of people lost their lives.

North Korean invasion of South Korea repelled. Subsequent United Nations invasion of North Korea repelled. Subsequent Chinese–North Korean invasion of South Korea repelled. The war ended in Military stalemate and Korean Armistice Agreement.

Another good example is the Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War, and known in Vietnam as Resistance War Against America or simply the American War, was a war that occurred in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 1 November 1955, to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975. It was the second of the Indochina Wars and was officially fought between North Vietnam and the government of South Vietnam. The North Vietnamese army was supported by the Soviet Union, China and other communist allies and the South Vietnamese army was supported by the United States, South Korea, Australia, Thailand and other anti-communist allies. The war is therefore considered a Cold War-era proxy war.

The war lasted close to 20 years (1 November 1955 – 30 April 1975), and roughly 5 million people lost their lives.
The war resulted in: Decisive North Vietnamese victory. Withdrawal of American-led forces from Indochina. Communist governments take power in South Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. South Vietnam is annexed by North Vietnam. Reunification of North and South.

America was behind Muammar Gaddafi’s fall. He fell because no external nations helped him.
Syrian rebels have not been able to overthrow the Syrian Government because some external countries are in support of Syrian Government.

What would happen if the US attacked North Korea? North Korea would gain sympathy from certain powerful nations, which would show secret support and supply to North Korea. Unless the US uses nuclear weapons, which is forbidden, the war would drag on, and on. It would result in stalemate.

Eventually, America would discover that they are fighting against external mercenaries and influences. They would have wasted lots of soldiers and money. The USA is heavily in debt (to the tunes of trillion of dollars). They should avoid going further heavily in debt. They should try to do things to better lives of their citizens, rather than engaging in senseless war that is prohibitively expensive.

Let the US learn from history. If they start a war they cannot win, that would embolden other enemies to defy the US.

Let them continue to slam sanctions against North Korea, but they should avoid open conflict with the country.

I'm just wondering, why do America invades other countries when such country is a sovereign state?

Story of David and Goliath have played in history. The seemingly insignificant one has a way of upsetting the so-call giant.

Every empire has a failing moment.

Yes it won't be fought there but North Korea will surely strike Korea and Japan who are strong allies of USA. The only way North Korea won't strike USA directly is if their missiles can't travel far or if they can get close through submarines. Most people pray for peace. Only the USA don't want peace.

You need to read what the secretary of state said about Iran. You will laugh out loud

Would that stop NK from striking US strong allies( Japan and South Korea)? None of these countries wants that. So surely, they will ensure US doesn't do something stupid.

NK has strong allies in China and Russia.
The last Korean war fought which involved US ended in a stalemate
